Red sea for their forty years in the wilderness, Dr. Kyle has found in old Canaan fresh evidence of a serpent-worshipping religion. It was 1275 B, C., 3203 years ago, when PharaOh finally agreed to’ “let my people go” »nd the famous march began. That Was a bad day . for the ancient Gan&anites, just as it was a bad day for the original Ameri­ cans when Columbus sailed from Palos. It was their land Moses Was headed for, flowing With milk and • honey and, without room for both the Old population and the new." About all that was left of the Canaanites, when the Israelites gat through with them, Was Hie vestiges which Dr. Kyle has lately been digging up: He finds dye vats and other evidence that the people whom the Israelites displaced were well alohg in the industrial arts. They had well- developed systems of military defense,, as the Israelites before Jericho had reason to know* And they had a relig­ ion, a religion of serpent worship. A remnant of a fallen idol in Serpent form proved .this* , This interests Ohioans. The mound builders whose works are scattered over Ohio, but whose character and history remain largely a mystery, were serpent worshippers. At least, some of them were, as the famous serpent mound Of Adams county attd certain other remain* attest. Our mound builders, did they move east­ ward .toward Behrirtg strait and America from the same point some­ where in Asia frorti which‘the ances­ tors of the Canaanites, with their serpent religion, moved westward into old Canaan? Then the-Canaanites Whom the Israelites were pledged to exterminate were brothers of the mound builders, whom somebody be- • tore us exterminated, over whose ancient graves the blithe Ohioan of today walks or, more likely, drives his car.
